connecting system

Guest

I have a Panasonic tv with 2 scarts, vcr with 2 scarts, dvd player with 1 scart and a sony freeview box with one scart for tv and one to go to video.Can I connect up this system without the need for a scart block?

Would be better to connect freeview direct to Tv and VCR into the other scart on freeview.

That way you could be watching a freeview channel and record one of the five terrestrial channels at the same time

Also as Malabbey says connect DVD to AV1 as that accepts RGB (make sure you have switched the RGB output on in the DVD menu) and Freeview to AV2 which accepts an S/Video input (set Freeview to output S/Video if it has the option) !

In my TV manual it doesn't say that either of the scart sockets are rgb, its about 5 years old. Anyway I've connected freeview to tv scart 1,dvd to scart 2, vcr to freeview and it all seems to work ok.
